GWEN

I stared out the window and took a deep breath. It was just what I needed at the moment.moment.The light wind swayed the branches of the shiny, green, and healthy olive tree. I looked down atthe beautiful garden; it cheered me up. It belonged to my mother.The liar! She never came back.It was a very peaceful morning in Dycan and also a day of celebration.It was the first full moon.It was a thing to be happy about, and all the wolves in Dycan looked forward to the transformation.ceremony, when teenage wolves were wolfed out. They had to determine alpha wolves and outcasts.like me. I belonged to the Omegas; we were the lowest and most pathetic in Dycan.Transition festivals were much anticipated among the teenage wolves and their eager guardians. There were lots of fun activities to look forward to.But this delightful day would always remind me of my own failure.I could still remember the jeering andspiteful face of the crowd two years ago when I didn't transform like the othe

I was deep in thought, wondering why Aunt Maya wasreally here. But it became clear tonight.I had eavesdropped on her and her dad."Gwen may not be a werewolf; the girl may be human, just like her mother."But I don't want to believe that.""Artemis was a wolf, Dylan!" Aunt Maya cautioned her brother."She was not; I bit her." "She was never born a wolf.""Gwen will be going to wolf camp; they'll train her." He said."I forbid such a thing for Gwen." Aunt Maya had said in her defense.Wolf camp was torture; it was a place even Ava wouldn't wish for me. Weak wolves were trained with the most cruelmethods possible.I took a deep breath and flipped to the other side of the bed.There was a ball tonight at the palace to celebrate the moon goddess.a successful full moon transition festival.There was a gentle knock on my door. "May I come in?""Come in." I said absent-minded.Aunt Maya came in and shut the door gently behind her. She satby my bedside. She was all dressed up

Gwen's povI lay on my bed, tears welling up in my eyes. I could still see Ava's jeering face in my head. I had been humiliated badly in front of him and in front of everyone. I wondered if he saw me get humiliated; I was probably going to remain a joke to him.More tears flooded my eyes when I remembered what Brandon did to me. Brandon had been all over me ever since the first day he saw me with my nurse at the town square. He disgusts me a lot. He kept rambling about all the things his family had and how good he was going to make me feel if I gave him a chance to go out with me. I could sense he was a pervert. Several times after he tried to kiss me, I turned him down each time. He had yet to find a mate as well. I could have suggested Ava; they were both perfect for each other.Brandon belonged to the Black Dove" pack; his family were members of the pack, not the alphas.Brandon believed I was his mate, but all I could see in his eyes was pure lust; he was just another horny teenage

My virginity was gone; I lost it to Brandon. He had defiled me. I felt shattered and broken. I stayed up in my room for days, refusing to come out. I always envisioned sleeping and giving myself to my wolf mate. I pictured him to be as tall and handsome as Derrick was.I was devastated. Things didn't turn out the way I planned; my eyes were swollen. I swore I was going to kill Brandon; he finally got what he had always wanted. My blood boiled as I pictured Brandon on me; the bastard probably had fun.Father became worried on the fourth day; he had not set his eyes on me for a while. He sent for me, but I refused to leave the confines of my room; I decided I would rather be alone.The sky was cloudy and glum, and the castle halls were quiet. My eyes were swollen from crying; I couldn't remember whatever transpired that night. I even hated myself more because I enjoyed it. But I despised the person involved. I stood up from my bed and finally left my room. My servants were relieved when

Gwen's povFlashback…I was so devastated when I woke up , I could hardly remember a thing . My head hurt like crazy. My brows creased in pain as I held my head . I squinted my eyes to help ease the stinging pain in my head .I sat up on the bed , the blankets rolled off my body . I realized I was partly naked , my dress was off my body .I was only in my undergarments . In shock , I grabbed the sheets and covered myself up quickly .I was confused, I panicked. Did it happen again? Has someone taken advantage of me? I asked myself. My vision became blurry, tears had welled up in my eyes against my will.I recalled how I got here .I had dared to believe Ava , I had dared to pity Ava . I had dared to try to see good in Ava . She had tricked me .Why ? I asked myself . What happened to me the previous night? I brainstormed my head for an answer.Just then , Ava walked into the room with a triumphant smile plastered on her face.My brows creased in a frown as I folded my fist in anger .
